Basics on the topic The Letter V

Join Dee and Kala in the phonics garden and learn all about v!

Transcript The Letter V

Let’s join Dee and Kala in the phonics garden and learn all about /v/. This is the letter V, it makes the sound /v/. This is a capital /V/ and this is a lower case /v/. They both make the /v/ sound like in van, volcano and vegetables! Let's practise the /v/ sound with Kala! "/V/, /v/!" Can you spy anything in the garden that begins with /v/? "There's vanilla ice cream, that starts with /v/!" Is there anything else in the garden that starts with /v/? "There's a violin, that also begins with /v/!" Uh-oh! /V/ is hiding with the other letters! Can you help find /v/ in the alphabet? Point to the letter when you find it! Did you also point here? You did some great work in the phonics garden! Today we learnt all about /v/, we listened to and made the /v/ sound! We found words that began with /v/ and found it in the alphabet! Interested in a challenge? Watch this video again and see if you can find the vest, the vacuum and the vulture hidden in the garden! Comment below when you find them! If you want to learn more, check out the next sound!
